Petition for New Inter-Racial Army Unit Put Up in Houses

A petition to President Roosevelt, asking that an inter-racial unit be established in the United States Army, has been distributed to all the House dining halls by the John Reed Society, it was announced last night.

Supported by many national institutions for racial tolerance, the petition, sponsored here by the John Reed Society, is being sent from other colleges and universities as well. The message is to be from the students to the President, not from the sponsor, the group declared.
